Many Establishments Now Accepting Silver Coins for Payment
In increasing numbers, stores across the U.S. – like this Shell gas station in Ashland, Oregon – are accepting 90% junk silver, or silver coins more generally, as payment for goods and services.

Although it isn’t common by any standard, the increasing use of alternative forms of money has been occurring…although there are a number of reasons for exploring alternative currencies, eroding value of the U.S. dollar is the prime motivator.......

A gas station across the line accepts two silver dimes for a gallon of gas. His sign “Gas, 20c a gallon, we accept two silver dimes for a gallon of gas”.
